Re: Gas Chamber
I’m conflicted. I love the fly! Not crazy about the name...
Brilliant pattern!

Re: Gas Chamber
I love the name! Made me remember my days as a Drill Sergeant, running trainees through the gas chamber filled with CS gas. Mask off, name, rank and service number. Lots of tears, running snot and vomit. Good times.
The fly is very nice. That bead sure would look like a gas bubble to me, if I were a fish.
By the way, Wayne, my wife says your a bad influence. I have an order of glass beads in many colors and sizes on the way. I'll bet she "borrows" some flies.

Your post made me start laughing. Trainees, vomit, tears and a judgemental wife!!!
Thank you Ron, for the kind words and the long lasting belly roll laugh!

Always better to have the wife as judgmental rather then choking, snotty nosed and puking ...

I remember those days, sometimes the DI’s would take chalk and draw little skull and crossbones on our helmets before we went inside. I had two of the three, sans the vomit!
